Vanjaar se NATi Jong Sterre deelnemers (Diano October, Franka Kirby, Mikyall Harris, Mosa Rabannye en Nelandi Boshoff) het die laaste paar maande hul tekste tot professionele teaterproduksies ontwikkel onder leiding van Lee-Ann van Rooi en Rafiek Mammon, wat in 2025 by die Suidoosterfees sal debuteer.
In November is hul dramas saam met professionele geselskappe by New Voices, die Suidoosterfees se projek saam met Artscape, voorgelees. Tydens hierdie geleentheid het elke NATi Jong Stêr waardevolle insette van kundiges en eweknieë in die bedryf ontvang om hul tekste verder te verfyn.
In die volgende video-onderhoude gesels die skrywers, spelers, regisseurs en projekborge oor die geleentheid. Die onderhoude is moontlik gemaak deur BASA (Business and Arts South Africa) en aangebied in samewerking met Netwerk24, een van die fees se hoofborge. Die NATi Jong Sterre-projek word moontlik gemaak deur NATi, die Jakes Gerwel Stigting, Artscape en die Suidoosterfees.
This year’s NATi Young Stars participants (Diano October, Franka Kirby, Mikyall Harris, Mosa Rabannye and Nelandi Boshoff) have spent the last few months developing their texts into professional theater productions under the direction of Lee-Ann van Rooi and Rafiek Mammon, which debuts at Suidoosterfees 2025.
In November, play readings were staged at New Voices, a project of the festival and Artscape, with professional cast members. During this event, each NATi Young Star received valuable input from experts and peers in the industry to further refine their texts.
In the following video interviews, the playwrights, actors, directors and project sponsors share their views on the event. The interviews were made possible by BASA (Business and Arts South Africa) and are presented in collaboration with Netwerk24, one of the festival’s main sponsors. The NATi Rising Stars project is supported by NATi, the Jakes Gerwel Foundation, Artscape and Suidoosterfees.
